Chapter 57: The Holy Songworm
Rumble!
The golden pillar of light grazed Lin Ze's body and hit the ground not far away, and suddenly the rubble flew out like bullets, snapping into the ruins around him.
Lin Ze rushed towards the golden light insect with an indifferent face, constantly dodging the golden light worm's shooting along the way.
In fact, if he used the Flame Sword Qi that he had just mastered, he would be able to kill this Golden Light Worm easily, but the Flame Sword Qi was too consumed, and the enemy was just a lone Golden Light Insect, so he couldn't waste his precious Qi for this.
In a short time, Lin Ze approached within two meters of the golden light insect, rushed to him with an arrow step, and slashed out with a horizontal knife, without even activating the flame characteristics, and directly cut it into two with the extremely sharp blade.
The golden light insect screamed and died in an instant.
As its strength became stronger and stronger, the fourth-level insect beast was now no longer a threat to Lin Ze, and it was easy to kill.
After absorbing the soul energy, there is an additional 0.01% of the light attribute soul energy in the white knife.
"It takes about 1,800 golden light bugs to collect them. Pulling out the white knife from the insect corpse, Lin Ze groaned secretly, then took out the map, found the right direction and continued to move forward.
He was going to hunt in the colony of the Golden Light Swarm.
An insect beast with a long-range attack like the Golden Light Worm, once it appears on a large scale, the danger immediately rises in a straight line, and the intensive artillery fire is no joke, even if it is a fifth-level apprentice knife caster, he does not dare to face the Golden Light Insect Swarm.
However, Lin Ze is an exception, the battle just now gave him a general understanding of the golden light insect, this kind of insect beast attacks slowly, it is not difficult to dodge the light cannon bombardment with his physical fitness, not to mention that the golden light insect has a long-range attack, is he not there?
Flame Burst Blade Qi is not only a ranged skill, but also a large-range skill, which is suitable for dealing with the swarm.
As expected, with the Flame Explosion Sword Qi, Lin Ze's hunting efficiency was really greatly improved, and after only 13 days in the ruins of B3 City, he had gathered 18% of the light attribute soul energy.
White knife 99.00% (steel 36.00%, high temperature 12.00%, fire 33.00%, light 18.00%)
After absorbing the light attribute soul energy, the characteristics of the soul knife did not change much, but the original crimson flame took on a little bit of gold, turning into a color of gold and red.
In addition, the annihilation effect of the flames seems to have been enhanced.
"It's almost divine attribute now!" Lin Ze withdrew his gaze from the information displayed by the white knife and groaned slightly.
Among the many soul abilities, the Divine attribute is the rarest of the small batch, and is usually only required by the high-level Blade Casting formula.
Lin Ze recalled in his mind the insect beasts related to the divine attributes, there were not many types, such as the sixth-level insect beast Holy Songworm, and the seventh-level insect beast Hexapod, except for these two, the rest were at least eighth-level insect beasts, and they were not considered.
And the six-winged insect was quickly excluded by Lin Ze, not to mention that it was a seventh-level insect beast, the mere fact that it belonged to a flying insect beast was enough to make Lin Ze extinguish the idea of hunting it.
All that's left is the Holy Songworm.
Don't look at the Holy Songworm is at the bottom of many insect beasts with divine attributes, but it is also a sixth-level insect beast, and it can generally only be dealt with by a formal sword caster.
Lin Ze has inquired about the corresponding information in the Knife Forger Guild, and the frontal combat power of the Holy Songworm is not worth mentioning, at most it is better than the elite Steel Soldier Insect, but the tricky thing is that it has the strange ability to control other insects and beasts.
This is very similar to the individual king insect, the difference is that the holy songworm can ignore the difference in species, as long as it is a sixth-level insect beast, it is within its control range, so wherever the holy songworm exists, there must be thousands of insects and beasts nearby, and the hunting difficulty is not ordinarily high, ranking among the top of many sixth-level insects and beasts.
Even so, compared to the six-winged insect with the ability to fly, Lin Ze still decided to choose the Holy Songworm, in addition to the consideration of strength, another reason is the achievement of the 'Insect Beast Hunter III'.
Up to now, Lin Ze estimated that he had killed more than 9,000 insect beasts, and it was not far from breaking 10,000, and it was estimated that the hunting of a wave of holy songworms would be completed, and when he had gathered 1% of the divine energy, maybe even the requirements of 'Insect Beast Hunter IV' could be partially completed.
"According to the calculation that a holy songworm has 0.01% divine energy, it is necessary to kill at least 100 heads to make up 1%, which is destined to be a time-consuming project. Lin Ze sighed with emotion, took out the map, picked the closest one among the many locations that marked the existence of the Holy Songworm, and set off to rush there.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived near a dilapidated three-story building, hid behind a lone wall, and cautiously peered into the scene.
The area within a radius of three or four hundred meters of the high-rise building has been occupied by all kinds of insects and beasts, and the dense insects and beasts are lying on the ground, lazily basking in the sun while guarding the tall buildings behind them.
Roughly visually, not counting the high-rise building, there are seven or eight hundred insects and beasts in the surrounding open space alone, including dead wood insects, gold-eating insects, golden light insects and spinypod insects, etc., which are basically fourth-level insects and beasts, mixed with a small number of fifth-level insects and beasts.
So many different kinds of insects and beasts gathered together in peace and quiet, it would not have happened under normal circumstances, and only the manipulation ability of the Holy Songworm could do it.
Lin Ze took a look around and found that the most insect beasts guarded were spinypods, which was a fourth-level insect beast with eight sharp limbs that could be retracted at will, and had the 'stinging' attribute soul energy, which was weak among the fourth-level insects and beasts, and was not difficult to deal with.
Lin Ze had no intention of attacking the swarm head-on, but adopted a strategy of gradual devouring and elimination, deliberately exposing himself to the vision of some of the swarms, luring them to leave the high-rise building in pursuit, and then return to continue the lure after they were all killed.
A similar strategy was not pleasant to the insects and beasts with low intelligence, but after the lack of more than three hundred guards of the insects and beasts, the holy songworms in the high-rise building finally reacted, and when Lin Ze appeared again to lure them, he directly sent nearly three hundred insects and beasts to follow and kill, but unfortunately he was quickly thrown off by Lin Ze, but instead used the insects and beasts to pursue them for a long time, causing the formation to disperse, and nearly half of them were killed one by one.
After suffering two losses in a row, no matter how much Lin Ze lured him, the Holy Songworm no longer sent the insect beast out to chase and kill.
At this time, after the previous lure and hunting, there were less than two hundred insect beasts left near the high-rise building, seeing this, Lin Ze simply rushed in directly, used the explosive sword qi to kill, and when the qi was about to run out, he turned around and fled quickly.
After three trips back and forth, the insects and beasts outside the high-rise building were finally swept away, and then Lin Ze rushed directly into the building, and after killing dozens of fifth-level insects and beasts that were not afraid of death, he finally saw the Holy Songworm.
The size of the Holy Songworm is petite among all insects and beasts, only about 30 centimeters tall, about the same as a small domestic dog, the light gray carapace is covered with strange patterns like sound waves, and the head is crowned with the face of a human woman, which is extremely terrifying to look at.
Seeing Lin Ze, the Holy Songworm opened its mouth wide for the first time, let out a piercing scream, and the void in front of him visibly rippled with the naked eye, converging together like an air cannonball and attacking Lin Ze at great speed.
The sound wave is a weapon used by the Holy Songworm to control the insect beast, it is very weird, but the effect on the frontal attack is not satisfactory, Lin Ze has no intention of dodging, mobilizes the qi to cover the front of the body, and rushes forward against the sound wave attack, killing the Holy Songworm with a knife.
It took 7 days before and after, and it was not until this moment that Lin Ze finally killed the first Holy Songworm, and the process was really difficult.
Fortunately, the divine soul contained in the latter did not disappoint him, and it was actually 0.02%.
It's a pity that Lin Ze didn't be happy for long, and when he thought that even so, he would have to kill 49 more Holy Songworms to complete the goal, and he suddenly had a feeling that he had a long future.
